The speaker says current choices are largely between explicitly writing a program and using a model whose learned behavior cannot be selected directly, and advocates a spectrum that gives engineers more control over model creation.

“Yeah, and that's sort of part of the point of the intentional design idea is at the moment you can have like one or the other.”

“You either...”

“you either write a program like it's the stone age or you get a model to do it and that model will have been trained like it just gets whatever it gets from its training process we can't select it like when you write a program that stuff only goes in if you intend it to go in and some bugs but like we want to be able to have this sort of spectrum where you can choose you have more like engineering ability in in the model creation process”
